Once again Intel sets the pace in competition for performance and power efficiency with the 3rd Generation Intel Core processors, codenamed Ivy Bridge. Built on the market-leading previous generation Sandy Bridge architecture, the state-of-the-art Ivy Bridge not only continues the excellence in all aspects with Intel Hyper-Threading technology, Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 and Smart Cache, but pushes the pace a step farther with groundbreaking 22nm 3D transistor technology, which delivers an unprecedented combination of performance and power efficiency, and a couple of key refinement. The built-in visual is another leap offering you enhanced media and graphics. The Ivy Bridge IGP also supports DirectX 11 and OpenCL 1.1 to deliver incredibly detailed gaming and better heterogeneous computing performance.

The Intel Core i7-3770K packs four cores with Hyper-Threading technology and Turbo Boost 2.0 technology to deliver top-of-the-line performance that makes a difference you can see and feel in HD or 3D, multitasking or multimedia. Its unlocked multiplier allows you to freely adjust the frequency when used with compatible motherboard, pushing the performance to a new level and pumping the max out of your investment.

Intel 22nm 3-D Transistor The 3rd Generation Intel Core processors employ the world's first 3-D transistor manufactured at 22nm. Intel's 3-D Tri-Gate transistor uses three gates wrapped around the silicon channel in a 3-D structure, enabling an unprecedented combination of performance and energy efficiency, and ensuring that the pace of technology advancement consumers expect can continue for years to come.

Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 Designed to increase performance of both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows the processor core to opportunistically and automatically run faster than its rated operating frequency/render clock if it is operating below power, temperature, and current limits. Furthermore, the processor can optimize both processor and Processor Graphics performance by managing power for the overall package, allowing an increase in the render core frequency and increased graphics performance for graphics intensive workloads.

INTEL SMART CACHE This large last-level cache enables dynamic and efficient allocation of shared cache to all cores to match the needs of various applications for ultra-efficient data storage and manipulation.

Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel AVX) Intel AVX is a new 256 bit instruction set extension to SSE and is designed for applications that are Floating Point (FP) intensive. Intel AVX improves performance due to wider vectors, new extensible syntax, and rich functionality. This results in better management of data and general purpose applications like image, audio/video processing, scientific simulations, financial analytics and 3D modeling and analysis.

Rating: 5/5Big Difference

Pros: I went from a i5 to this i7. I am not a gamer but I need really good performance for the video work I do. Now the i5 is a great performer at 3.2 GHz but you add just .3GHz and get the i7 it's a much bigger difference than you might think. All the video work I do now easily clear and quick.

Cons: Run just maybe 2° warmer than the i5 but not enough to worry about. But though I could I am not over clocking this rig at this time and the standard heat sink is fine.

Rating: 5/5oh yeah

Pros: Going on heavy usage almost 2 years running now, on this chip and flawless OC, to 4.9 on an asus maximus IV extreme board air cooled and never overheats, PC is rarely ever off.

just saw i never gave this chip a review and needed to because it is flawless. need a high level over view go to youtube there are millions to choose from, but 2 yeas strong and still rocking under super heavy >50% load 90% of the time and cant ask for more than that

Cons: nothing at all

Other Thoughts: great chip, well worth it, the new ones are out and considering upgrading and moving this box to a secondary machine but it is not needed with the awesome power out put of the 3770k

Rating: 5/53770k

Pros: Great CPU Over clocks with little to no effort on a quality mb. Placed mine in an Asus Sabertooth Z77 board and the turoboost kicked in so 3.9 was there on demand. I went with quanity over quality so I went with 32gb of Corsair value ram which run as advertised, and handles the 5urbo boost to 3.9 just fine, but that's the rams limit. I bumped it up to 4.2ghz and it hit the wall for this ram. Tried a friend better ram and it ran smooth as silk at 4.2Ghz. Didn't want to push (over volt) on borrowed ram but it bumped it up to 4.5 and added .1v and it was stable. PFelt like 4.8-5.0 would be an easy goal with quality ram.Considering a new CPU but instead I plan to get better ram and push this up to 4.8-5.0Ghz instead. Based on my test I'll feel confident running it at this speed.If your considering an upgrade that requires a new MB, don't, crank this baby up and save a bundle while waiting on the next gen.

Rating: 5/5ivy or sandy ?

Pros: 1155 socket is a great socket i have the 2500k and love it i got my clocks up to 5.3oc on 1.530v i know high right but that just to bench mark then cut back to 5.0 on 1.45v crazy right but love this cpu i am going to the 3770k soon or i mite just get 2600k they oc very well to

Rating: 5/5Intel i7 3770K Ivy Bridge

Pros: With the Intel i7 3770K Ivy Bridge processor. I use Adobe Photoshop and convert videos or movies to a different format the i7 is a huge time saver; I also play games. I am very pleased to have finally upgraded my processor. :)

Cons: It is the last generation of processor so it should not cost as much as it is being sold for.

Other Thoughts: When playing games I am able to easily run the games at 4096 x 2160 I am able to get 80 fps plus with my current pc setup.Thanking you for reading my review of the Intel i7 3770K Ivy Bridge processor. :)

Rating: 5/5Great performing processor

Pros: I bought this in 2012 right when it came out, and still use it in my rig. It shows great performance and I see no reason to upgrade for a while.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: If you have a socket LGA 1155 motherboard and looking for the best (excluding server CPUs), this is it. Though if you have a Sandy Bridge chipset motherboard, make sure the BIOS is updated and supports Ivy Bridge processors.

Tech Level: 2/5

Ownership: 5/5

Rating: 5/5clueless

Pros: This thing has never given me any problems for almost two years. Even for someone who does not know what he is doing when it comes to over clocking. It is running @ 4.5 with temps around 87 c on the hottest core at 100% usage. The only setting I change is the multiplier to 43/44 and bam 1 extra ghz of performance. I don't mess with voltages or anything else and it is still working fine.

Cons: Wish it would not get so hot. 6 years ago core duo 2s were reaching 4.5ghz speeds around same temps I'm getting.

Rating: 5/5great cpu

Pros: speed up in a few games like rage for one. can run every game as long as you have decent gpu. easy install with right motherboard. noticed speed up in windows 7 64bit right away with this cpu from an i5 3570k.

Cons: none so far

Other Thoughts: I would get and h80i or better with this cpu for good temps. I get 20-30c idle and 63c under maximum load with intel burn test with the h80i.

Rating: 5/51 1/2 years later and going strong.

Pros: I usually build by PC's to last me about 5-6 years and this processor has exceeded my expectations and bet it will last me at least that long. I didn't have to de-lid or lap the thing and I get 4.6Ghz on an H100i @ 1.85v. Not too shabby. The new Haswell-E offerings don't look as appealing when you compare them to an overclocked 3770k :D

Cons: It's still expensive, but I bet you can find a used one for cheaper.
